The killing of the wrong man in
Atlanta the other day on account Of
having the ready pistol in the con-
yenient hip pocket leads the Atlonta
Constitution to advise the Georgia
Legislature to enact a law against
carrying deadly weapons. The Nesos
and Courier thinks Georgia and
other States as well, should have
such q law and that it should be so
made that all who violate it would
find their way to the Penitentiary.
But what about such law that is
constantly violated without danger
or fear of punishment? ? What good
does it do South Csrolina has
such a law on her Statutes but the
convenient pistol is almost always on
hand when needed.
If the public would hold the man
who carried the deadly pistol con-
cealed, SIS s coward and bully, it
would do more to wipe out the evil
than sll the statutes on the subject or
even the open gate of the Peniten.
tiary, for few there are who ever pass
through it for carrying the pistol
unless it is some poor fellow for
whom nobody cares. AS long as it
is held by the public as right and
proper to carry the snimal' and the
man who constantly carries it is re-
spected and made much of, the evil
can not be checked, neither the mur'

The election on the "Murray pro-
hibition bilr' was held in Laurens
and Anderson Counties on Tuesday.
The papers yesterday did not give
the exact figures, but We understand
that the prohibitionists lost in An
derson by majority Of about 1000
votes, and in Laurens the vote against
It amounted to majority of about
100. This means that the whiskey
men Won both in Anderson and in
Laurens. The bill provided that
there shall be no whiskey' sold or
brought into the county except under
certain restrictions. We have never
thought the bill q wise measure for
the cause of temperance.

END DOF THE BELL COUNTY FEUD
The Plan Of the EawbreakerS to Es-
cape the Punishment of their
Crimes.

LOUISVILLE, August l4.-The trouble
in Bell County IS probably at an end, as
Jack Turner, the leader of the Turner
faction, has surrendered himself to the
iailer of Bell County. He surrendered
last Monday and on the following We'd
nesday another man, charged with be-
ing an accomp1ice of Turner's, surren-
dered himself to the authorities. 1t is
reported that others Of the band have
ediSbanded and left the State.
When Jack Turner surrendered he
confessed the killing of George Thomas,
but made no excuse for the crime. This
statement is not credited, and it is be-
lieved he has confessed the crime in
order to screen the guilty party and give
him time to make his escape, and he
(Turner) will prove himself innocent on
the day of his trial.

A young medical student died the
other day from effects Of smoking
cigarettes. 1t is said he smoked
sixty a day. There have been other
deaths noted from this same habit
and the habit seems to be increasing,
antl it becomes serious matter.
It IS said to be the most injurious
way in which tobacco is used. Those
who are addicted to the habit should
stop ard think and leave it off If
possible. Parents should try to see
to it that the habit is not formed by
their boys. It is injurious. 1t is
useless. It is 80 injurious that when
used to excess it produces death.

Prohibition Defeated in Anderson.
Especial TO Ne,rS and Cuurier.)

ANDERSON, August 1f.-Anderson
county votes no prohibition by majori-
ty Of fifteen hundred, and probably two
thousand. The election passed off very
quietly.
The election was held under an Act,
passed by the Legislature at the last ses-
sion, applicable to the counties of An
derSon and Laurens, providing that upon
the petition Of majority OF the real
estate owners Of the county an election
should be held to decide whether or not
the sale Of liquor should be absolutely
prohibited in all parts of the county, in
incorporated towns as we'll as in outlv-
ing districts.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
ANDERSON, August l6.-The election
on the Murray prohibition bill passed
quietly to-day. There was five hundred
white majority against the measure, and
it was overwhelmed by colored votes.
The indications so far are that it is de-
feated by two thousand to twenty-five
hundred majority. The people did not
demand the measure, and its defeat is
the most signal received by any meas
ure ever before the county.
ACLosE CALL IN LAURENs.
LAURENs, August l6.-The election
here to-day on prohibition passed off
quietly. From the latest accounts it
appears that the vote is not full, but will
be very close. At this hour the Anti
Prohibitionists are few votes ahead,
but several strong prohibition precincts
have n 1t been reported.
